BOTH HER ARMS TORN OUT.
THE AWFUL DEATH or A PLUCKY
L0RILLARD WOMAN.

Drawn into the Machinery of the Fine
Cut Department Yesterday Afternoon
-Consctous and Calm to the End, and
Ordering that a Priest be SAINT For.
A frightful accident occurred yesterday
afternoon about half-past one o'clock in
the fine cut department Of Lorillards To-
bacco Factory, which resulted in the death
of Mrs. Mary Perine, widow, who resided
with Mrs. Calvin at No. 81 Railroad Avenue.
It appears, from the statements of eve
witnesses, that while the machinery used
In the department was at still, the victim
took hold of portion of the betting which
runs through the pulleys of the machinery.
At that moment the machinery was
put in motion, and Mrs. Parine was
lifted from the floor by the betting
and drawn towards the pulleys through
which it had to pass. The BODY
was too large to be forced through the
shafting, and the unfortunate woman hung
suspended for few moments. The power
t1l strain took one arm loose from its
socket, and the other arm was left hanging
by very small portion of flesh The body
became loosened from the shafting and
fell to the floor. The victim remained
conscious after she fell, and looked
at one arm and then at the other
with apparent coolneas. Then rea-
lizing her condition, she raised her ewes
and exclaimed, ''My God! am going to
die. Oh! my sister, my mother, am going
to die. Then turning to young man
named John Boyle, she requested him to
go for a priest She was then taken down
stairs to DR.. Gordon's Office The prize
arrived in time to administer the sscra-
ments of tne Catholic Church, after which
she expired. Her boS,g was removed to
Delany's undertaking establishment on
Grove street.
Mrs. Perine has lived with Mrs. Gal
vim for the past year. Her mother and
stepfather, whose name is Lake, are en-
ploSed on a canal boat, which is believed
to be now lying at Ehzabsthport.

Runaway.

Exciting End of a lIiIIionafre's Horses
Runaway.
About o'clocd last night, bay horse
attached to a buggy without driver. was
seen dashing along Grove street from the
south at fearful rate of speed. When the
horse neared the Pennsylvania Railroad
crossing, the gateman was in the act Of
lowering the gates. The horse was shut in
between the gates and the onlookers ex-
pected to see big accident, when the gate
was suddenly raised. AS il went up the
horse dashed under, striking his head ylo-
lently against it, and smashing it. He was
going at such speed that he was car
ried outside the gate before ne fell. The
carriage was completely wrecked. No one
knew whom the rig belonged to, and where
the horse started to run from could not be
learned. Later in the evening it was
learned that the rig came from the stables
of Denton 4 Shaw. A SUNDAY MORNING
News reporter went to the stables and was
informed that the rig was owned by
party who was worth million of dollars,
and that he had given orders that his nam
should not be disclosed. The man VINO
gave the information said that his living
depended upon his keeping quiet, and he
would not tell anything about it. He said
that the person was we'll known and held a
high position in the city.

Lincoln's Fathers Arithmetic.

Mr.. William G. Greene, an early
friend of Mr.. Lincoln, relates that in
1886 he was going to Kentucky, and
Sat the request of Abe Lincoln l car
riej letter to his father, who lived
in Coles county, Illinois, at the head
of the 'Ambraw' river. When l got
to the place the old mans house looked
so small and humble that l felt en-
barrassed until he received me with
much heartiness, telling me what a
handy house he had and how con-
vcniently it was arranged. 1t was a
log house, and some of the logs stuck
out two or three feet from the wall at
the corners. He said that he could
dress his deer as he killed them, and
hang them on the projecting logs, and
could tie his horse to them. The old
man inquired how his son was getting
along. He said Abe was a good boy,
but he was afraid he would never
amount to much; he had taken no.
ton to study law, and these men were
generally dedicated to do wrong.
Here now,' he said, i cannot read or
write bit; but can beat any book
keeper ever saw at making my ac-
counts so easy and simple that any
body can understand them, just by
taking my forefinger and rubbing out
that black mark In the little cabin
where he was living, the joists were
about seven feet from the floor, and
were of course unfinished. The old
man had taken a fire-coal and drawn
four black marks on the face of a joist,
something like the four bars Of music.
He then explained that he had been
tending mill for a man down the
river; and when he sold customer a
peck Of meal he simply reached up and
drew his finger through the lower
line. For two pecks he rubbed hole
through two Of the lines. for three
pecks three lines, and for bushel four
lines were erased. He put a mark to
indicate the customer right over his
dues. The simplest thing in the
world said he. and added: If Abe
don't fool away all bis time on books
: he may make something yet. -

An Emperor's Awful Diet.

The recent improvement in the EN-.
peror Williams health is due to the
fact that since his return to Berlin he
has become much more amenable to
the wishes of his physicians. He does
not now expose himself to cold wealth
er as he has hitherto insisted on doing.
he sleeps in warm room instead of
having his apartments arranged as if
he were robust subaltern in barrack;
and he no longer lives by clockwork.
The emperor till recently neither ate or
drank except at certain specified hours,
when he indulged his appetite in a very
reckless way. But now his majesty
takes some kind of food every two
hours, such as very strong beef tea,
eggs beaten up with wine tokay and
cream, coffee and isinglass.
The emperor's great meal had always
been supper till this autumn, and most
of his recent illnesses have arisen from
indiscretions at table. He delighted
in Holsters in every shape and form, es-
pecially hot, with q rich sauce, and
washed down by copious draughts of
Rhine wine. Another favorite dish
was crayfish soup, and also the Russian
batwinia, a cold fish soup,in which beer,
cider, rancid herrings and salt cucum-
bers are ingredients. The emperor
was also fond of veal stewed with cloves
and cinnamon, and of pork stewed with
nutmeg and marshmallow; while fre-
quent sweet was a large sponge-cake
STEPPED in rum. The physicians are OF
the opinion that his majesty may now
live for some years longer, unless there
should be very cold weather.-LondOn

Very Long Waits.

A pause of week in an interesting
ry-especially when the words, "To
be continued in our next" come IN the
middle of thrilling Incidents ag.
gravating, but even this one becomes
accustomed to in time. Such pauses,
however, as year and six years are
really too long for mortal endurance.
A story is told of a man of very
silent disposition who, driving in his
gig over bridge, turned about and
asked his servant if he liked eggs.
The man replied, ''Yes, SIR"
Nothing more was said on the sub
ject till the following year, when, driv.
ing over the same bridge again, the
master suddenly turned again to his
servant and said, ''Howp" to which the
man promptly responded. "Poached.
SIR"
This, however, as an instance Of
long intermission Of discourse, sinks
into insignificance beside an anecdote
of minister of Campsie, near Glas-
gov. 1t is related that the worthy
pastor, one Archibald Denniston, was
deprived Of his ministerial Office in
1855, and not replaced till after the
Restoration. He had, before leaving
his charge, begun a discourse, and
finished the first head. At his return
in 1861 he took up the second division
of his interrupted sermon, calmly in
PRODUCING it with the remark that ''ths
times were altered, but the doctrines
Of the Gospel were always the same"
